Screen Won't Wake and Severe Lag - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When trying to wake my phone the soft keys turn on but the screen wont. I have to hit the button over and over or do a battery pull.
I am experiencing severe lag. When typing it takes up to 3 seconds for a typed word to appear. Simple tasks like scrolling, pulling down the status bar, or launching the SMS app take forever to execute or freeze the device.
Has anyone else had this issue?

In case anyone else has this problem-- I got my phone exchanged, made the new phone identical to the old, and no longer have this issue. This leads me to believe it is a hardware problem.

[Q] Screen timeout issue

So this happens to me all the time now...
I'll be in an app, such as XDA or the browser, and scrolling through text. Actively touching the screen every few seconds to scroll further. But the screen will go dim, and then blank as if I wasn't interacting with the phone at all. It just auto-locks disregarding the fact I was actually using it.
Anyone else experiencing this issue or have a fix for me?? Any ideas?
Had the same problem with my g1 a reboot alwaysed fixed it. But havent had that problem in the g2 tho

Thanks for the reply. I reboot all the time it seems anyway, messing around with temp root and such. This problem just randomly pops up.

Atrix Randomly Selecting

Hey everyone,
My Atrix has been with more frequently losing control and randomly selecting items particularly across top portion of the phone. At times it completely ignores my touch and will repeatedly pinch and zoom in an erratic fashion. Any thoughts or similar experiences? Suggestion? Factory wipe? Root with. Ginger?

This might be app related. Does this only happen in one app?
For me, it occurred when using an emulator (snes). i've had certain virtual buttons and the home/menu button on the bottom of the phone not respond to touch. The only fix i found when it occurs is hit the power button and wake the phone back up (ie. sleep cycle). once that's done, it works great again.
Perhaps because this became more of a relevant issue after I installed a 64 emulator which worked beautifully but I began to notice the issues. I am going to delete the emulator, run a scan, reboot. If that doesn't work I'm going to cry to Motorola for a new Atrix with a decent battery... grumble...

Atrix Randomly activating rear touchpad
I am having the same issue, but it is not app related. It will do it in the app drawer, text messaging, homescreen, and browser. Sometimes it gets stuck on the lock-screen, and I have to pull the battery. I've upgraded to 2.3.4 CherryBlur, but it was also occuring on 1.8.3.
It also happens if I open the multitouch testing app. If I put 2 fingers on the bottom, it shows one finger on the top.

Apps keep closing, anyone else facing this?

Apps keep closing randomly. They're not force closing or crashing, just closing and I end up at the home screen.
Earlier it wasn't so frequent, buy it has become quite frequent now. Has happens at least 2-3 times in the past 2 hours.
It seems to happen more frequently when I'm using the phone while charging, but it does also happen when the phone isn't being charged.
Battery temperature was around 36-38C
Is anybody else also facing this?

Honestly, I think I get that too sometimes. I just noticed recently when I was just trying to use the SMS app to text some friends it just randomly closed out of it sending me to the homescreen. I mean it was not a force close or anything like that it just closes randomly as I was typing. I mean I could of hit the home button on accident, but I don't think I did so yeah I'm pretty sure I do know to some extent of what you are talking about.

How often does this happen with you? And no, it's not the home button getting hit by accident.
This is very annoying, happens atleast 4-5 times a day. Also this happens on both, the stock as well as franco r14 kernel.
That happens when I undervolt too far. Are you undervolting?

You could activate "show touches" in your settings for a while.
At least it would confirm you aren't straying anywhere near the home button (i have done this on several occasions).

If I was mistakenly pressing the home button, opening the app again from recent apps or from the drawer should resume it from where it was left off. But that doesn't happen, it starts afresh, be it a game, pulse, chrome or anything else.

[Q] Verizon G2 buggy touch screen?

Is anyone else having issues with the touch screen triggering at different places when touched, or randomly knocking off the phone when you're not even touching the phone? I turned off my knockon feature, but I would see my notification bar be highlighted without me touching it. Just wondering if i'm the only one with this problem.
No issues at all.

this glitch is kinda what happened with mine, and i confirmed what it was doing
in swiftkey, you know how tehre's the option to change the long press delay? well i was holding down that little bar to drag it down, and i noticed while holding it inplace, the numbers were going crazy..it was going up/donw/up/down incredibly fast, instead of just staying stationary..i was like, wtf? so i went to dev options, turned on show touch points and the trace so i could see the axis, and i noticed it was freaking out. holding my finger in place, it was as if it was moving around like crazy.
so i did a factory reset and flashed the clean verizon rom scott posted, and it hasn't done it since. no idea wtf was going on. i realized it was messing up bc my typing became really bad, and it would enter things i didn't type.
Touch Screen has a mind of its own - bad digitizer??
I woke up today to find my screen on, showing the lock screen which I found odd. Now most of the time the screen has a mind of its own where basically its like an invisible finger is randomly touching the screen at a frantic place. This opens up apps, moves icons around, calls people if the phone app manages to get opened, etc. After struggling to override the "invisible finger" I've done a reboot from the power menu, powered off from the power menu and left it off for 10 minutes before turning off and held down the power and volume down button to reboot. None of these methods fixed the problem0
Please note I did accept the Verizon update but was good on it for a day prior to this issue. I have installed minimal 3rd party apps and can't attribute the problem to starting right after installing something. I do use the Ghost 100 wireless charger but have been using this from day 1 without issues so I don't think that'a problem either. The Verizon store sold me this charger and although its not listed as being compatible on Verizon's website I have a feeling that's cause the phone is so new. The charger is WPC certified. Being that this problem is intermittent (happens way more often than not) I think it may be a software issue and I'm about to do a hard factory reset. If that doesn't work then I'm convinced its a hardware issue and probably a bad digitizer. I've been very gentle with the phone - haven't dropped it, no moisture or water exposure, not rooted, etc. I'll report back if the factory reset works. Anyone else having the same or a similar issue?
Super buggy lockscreen!!!

You're not alone! My G2 has been driving me crazy the last couple of days when trying to use the lockscreen. It'll spaz out and either skip a connection of display a whole different pattern than I drew. It will also shut off the screen and reset the "wrong password" counter. I love this phone but this is super aggravating!
Hard reset didn't help at all. I went to a Verizon store and they exchanged for a new one and determined I had a hardware failure.

[Q] Note 3 hanged

Hi guys,
Anyone encountered your Note 3 hanged and you unable to swipe or press the back button.
The only way to swipe again is to press off and on and you be able to do that.
My phone is brand new and even after I factory reset it still hanged.
Same Hangups with me
The same happens to me with an unchanged Note 3 9005, Vodafone Germany branded; Suddenly the especially the screen freezes.
some buttons still work. Sometimes it works again, sometimes only a reboote works.

And i thought it was a launcher that causing this. Seems like I'm not the only one.

Yes, same problem here with a completely stock and non-rooted international (Germany) Note 3. I have had the device now for a little over a week, and the problem occurs quite frequently several times a day. Very annoying, so any fix would be VERY appreciated!
German Unbranded LTE... Apex Launcher, no such issue so far.
Try cleaning your system cache in Recovery.
I get the same problem.
No response to back, menu, home or power button.
If I wait about 10-20 seconds, it will start responding again.
It happens several times a day.
Very annoying. Never had this problem with the Note 2.

I tried this yesterday, but I'm afraid it didn't fix the problem. A couple of hours after cleaning the cache partition I got the next hang.
I gave up on this and decided to ask for a replacement phone. Bummer.

My non-rooted N9005 crashed several times as described below. However I can't replicate them on purpose. It just happened randomly.
On boot-up, when the lockscreen is shown, the device keeps restarting on its on, non-stop. To resolve, I'll need to quickly unlock the phone when the lockscreen is shown. Sometimes it would just keep restarting before the locksreen is shown. When this happens, I'll need to remove the SIM card and the phone would start normally. Then turn it off, reinsert the SIM card, boot-up and quickly unlock the lockscreen. This occurs randomly, but when it occurs, the would keep restarting. Else, phone would boot-up with no issue.
Recorded a video and stopped the recording. Camera hang. From then onwards, can't use camera until reboot.
Enabled the "one-handed operation - use for all screens". Switched to one-handed mode. Not sure what happened, but camera was started when I exit camera, screen is reverted to fullscreen. It should remain in "one-handed" mode. Touch responded to area where the "one-handed operation" window should be. No response to area outside this area. To resolve, re-enter "one-handed" mode and exit.
Phone just hang when games are started which the audio loop playing repeatingly.
My Note3 got hang when I was using facebook...
I m curious it related with RAM... when I check the RAM (after it responds again) it was 2,4 GB of 2,66 (max available)..
After I clear the Memory, then problem stops...
Same issue here..
i'll be scrolling facebook or browsing and i cannot click on links or scroll
weird thing is i can press the back button to close the app or the home button..
there are some other major glitches as well such as Gallery opening VERY SLOWLY.. quick pic is my work around..
waking up the phone with the power button takes longer then expected as well..
coming from a Z10 with less specs and listening to people bash it.. the 3GB quadcore Snapdragon 800 chip with 4.3 jelly bean is deeming to be disappointing..
don't get me wrong i love the device.. just didn't expect so many glithces and slow downs and hangups
Same issue on exynos.

I tried something new today, I've been clearing the Ram memory every 15-30 minutes of constant usage and every time I start using the phone and it seems that I haven't had that problem yet. Makes me think it is related to a process.
